How Hans Leenhouts started their web page design journey

Company name

Overview

This website / portal gives information on education and working in the fastservice branche and is ment to make young people enthousiastic on working in this branche. Also the people around the (future) student must know that this branche is giving a lot of opportunities for a nice job, good money and to start your own business later or become a manager running such an outlet.
Actually there is one major “College” providing this kind of education all over the Netherlands. Centrally organized and local classrooms. For the “college” we need restyling of the website. For the old one look at: http://www.fastserviceopleidingen.nl and see why we need a new website. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE OLD NAVIGATION STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW WEBSITE. SEE SEPARATE FILE! (SITEMAP.JPG)
So 3 main streams: students, companies and schools / parents.
Apart from the education / school activities we also provide stand alone training possibilities for entrepreneurs and employees.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

THE BRANCHE/INDUSTRY
Like in the rest of the world many people in the Netherlands visit Quick Service Restaurants like McDonald’s, Burgerking, KFC. Apart from these well-known fastfoodrestaurants, we consider also outlets where food and drinks are being served (fast) to consume on the spot or to go/take away, being part of a branche called “Fastservice”: a blend of (quick)foodservice, retail and hospitality industry.
Not only in Holland the branche has a negative image: for as well as the food ( unhealthy) as working (so called Mcjobs). And we want to improve this image here in Holland.

TARGET AUDIENCE
- future students,
- students,
- companies who hire students of with vacancies
- parents of the (future) students
- teachers on schools
So 3 main stream visitors: students, companies and schools / parents: possible 3 entries on the homepage for each group

We keep HTML buttons as we keep flexibility to change the site easily. if possible we like you to make the template as well.
• The website needs to reflect the feeling of young and enthousiastic people who are happy and want to work in this branche. Site should be attractive, people oriented, convincing and creating a WOW effect so (future) student are stimulated to take action: mail, phone, filling in the application form. Feeling of support/ community.
